JUDGE MONTGOMERY DECLINES TO FIX DAY FOR
TRIAL FOR EITHER OF THEM.
This morning, in the Cr1minel Court, In the case
OF G. A. Whitaker, indicted for presenting false
vouchers, Judge Montgomery declined to make
any order fixing day for the trial, as asked by
the district attorney. Judge Montgomery said he
saw no reason why the order should be entered or
any occasion for the interposition OF the court.
There seemed to be no reason why the district
attorney may not give the defendant due notice OF
his intention to bring in the case day certain
and IL would then b. competent for defendant TO
ask post pOnement or continuance, and he sug-
gested that the district attorney consult the
counsel.
subsequently, Mr.. worthington served a notice
on Mr.. Chandler that he would call the Whitaker
case Tor trtal ON Monday, November IA, and the
latter acknowledged the receipt OF the notice
with the remark: II do not assent to the time
fixed"
Judge Montgomery also declined, in the case OF
Robert Frey, indicted In cases growing out OF
the GtSrsetOwn building association delalcation,

German Students.

One mark OF German brutality saw with indig-
nation and disgust. Three gross-lOoking students,
with their heavy faces gashed with sabre cuts,
embarked on the Rhine steamer at Bonn. Bar
doph himself would have looked a decent fellow
in the presence OF the leader Of the set, who was
swollen with beer and freshly SCARED on his
hideOuS face. One of his comrades had cloths
bound round his neck and head. They at once
called for beer and sat down to play at cards.
Their insOlent faces showed how proud they were
OF their brutal, stupid persons. An American
gentleman, who was standing near me, looking at
the grosSest OF the three said that If such fel-
low were at a university In the States they would
stick pins in him. l should have been content
with getting him well into the middle of "Scrim-
mage" at football In the parks at oxford.

daughter, the latter's name being Olive. She is
twenty years OF age, petite, weighing about one
hundred and twelve pounds, or fair complexion
and decidedly gOOd-lOOking. Miss Olive is a favor
has always borne an excellent reputation. Last
Wednesday afternoon Mr.. WEIGH, his wife, and
two sons were engaged In milking che cows in
the barn, wh1chs situated 200 feet from the house,
on the opposite side OF the road. 1t was after
O'Clock, and Miss Olive was left alone In the house
to prepare the evening meal, as was usually her
practice. She lighted the fire, fed the chickens
and did other chores about the house, but when
the family returned after milking the girl was
missing. Search was Immediately made, as the
locality Is lonely and they were apprehenSive that
all was not right. The father and brothers secured
the fields and alarmed their neighbors and at 8
o'clock Olive was found crying in the road some
distance from the house. Her clothing was torn
and her person bore marks OF violence. She
stated that while she stood at the kitchen
sink opening clans she was seized by two men,
who gagged her and threw a cloth over her head
Her hands We're bound and the men carried her out
at the kitchen door. They took her through a
gate into the orchard and up the mountain slope
behind the house. Partly SuffOcated and fright
encd out OF her wits, Miss WEIGH lost conscious

She wandered about for some time, but finally
recognized her whereabouts and found the road
and was making her way home when found by

had been assaulted She was suffering from the
